Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Suspends $900 Million in Military Aid to Pakistan

HeadlineJan 05, 2018

The United States has suspended at least $900 million in military aid to Pakistan, after President Trump accused Pakistan of not doing enough to combat terrorism. This is State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert.

Heather Nauert: “Today, we can confirm that we are suspending national security—or, excuse me, we are suspending security assistance, security assistance only, to Pakistan at this time. Until the Pakistani government takes decisive action against groups including the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network—we consider them to be destabilizing the region and also targeting U.S. personnel—the United States will suspend that kind of security assistance to Pakistan.”
